Likuliku Lagoon Resort

Wow, what can I say about Liku Liku Resort that hasn't already been said. My husband and I stayed at the resort for 5 nights for our honeymoon. Liku Liku was absolute heaven. There wasn't a moment on our trip that we didn't say, "how is this place real?". From the hospitality of the staff, to the delicious meals, to the stunning views. Liku Liku has everything imagineable to make your stay paradise on earth. We hope to be back soon one day. Our only change would be to take the helicopter ride from the airport directly to the resort. Otherwise, we would not change a thing about this resort. Bula!

It was our first time in Fiji and we loved it. Likuliku is sensational. I would highly recommend this resort and the over water bures for some relaxing down time. We didn't have to lift a finger at all.

To be honest, I've rarely read a positive review on the internet that I've actually believed. But you should believe the hype about Likuliku--it is that good. First, let's talk logistics--if you can, take the helicopter to the island. The views are stunning and let's face it--it's just cool to arrive in a helicopter (unless you're the uber rich type who does that all the time). From the moment you set foot on the island, you're greeted by a song and told "welcome home!" And you're treated better than family as you arrive. You'll meet with the staff (all of whom will quickly remember your name and call out to you as you pass) and be handed a glass of delicious passionfruit iced tea and they'll gather information to help make your stay just as perfect as they can. Everything appears to be effortlessly orchestrated, as though there's some sort of "Disney-like" behind the scenes thing going on. But believe me--they have invested in the staff to keep this operation running. Every day there are people constantly manicuring lawns, cleaning your room, turning down the bed, delivering late afternoon cookies, etc. I'm pretty sure they use the dinner reservation time to dispatch your turn down service so that ou arrive home from dinner to soft music, candlelight and a fluffy bed. And yet, even though you know there is a substantial staff working tirelessly to make this your island paradise, they are unobtrusive, gracious and courteous. It literally is an takes a village and they are dedicated to making you happy. Likuliku is the type of place that is probably a once in a lifetime type of trip for the average person and you get value for what you pay to be here. The rooms (we stayed in a deluxe beachfront bure) are spacious and beautifully appointed. The bed is comfortable, the AC works great, and you have an endless supply of lovely Fiji Pure bath products to choose from. You'll smell like coconut all week long...yay! Independent of the rooms, the food is absolutely wonderful. I'm used to having terrible food anywhere near a beach and this could not be further from that. Breakfast offers a gorgeous buffet with tons of fruits, breads, yogurt, pastries and a juicer ready to make you feel healthy. There's an a la carte menu too in case eggs, pancakes or omelettes are more your breakfast speed. Lunch is a three course affair with a daily changing menu. One day I had a substantial ribeye, another I had a fijian take on pho, and yet another I had a delicous schnitzel. Dinner can be an event--make sure to stay on a Friday and a Sunday if you can. Friday you'll be treated to a bountiful barbecue after a Friday night celebration of dance and song, and Sunday you'll have a family style curry accompanied by a performance of hymns. Both lunch and dinner feature island covers of timeless classics and other songs sung by a duo with a guitar. I'm convinced there's something called the Likuliku 15--but hey, it's worth it. As with any island, sometimes things appear to happen on island time, especially with food. But honestly--you probably don't have anywhere to be, except possibly your massage later, so sit back and relax and enjoy the views. The staff are warm, lovely people who we watched graciously deal with folks for whom, say, Likuliku isn't a once in a lifetime type of place. Are there bugs? Yeah, you're basically in a forest in a resort that prides itself on conservation and respect for the land and people around it. The views are great, the rooms are gorgeous, the food is divine, but it's obvious that people are Likuliku's greatest treasure. Come--you won't be disappointed. And if you are, I genuinely don't know what you're looking for.

Just finished five nights at Likuliku and I can't say enough nice things about this place. From the moment that you arrive you feel welcome - the staff are amazing and tend to your every need. I had a beachfront bure which was an incredible place to relax - the bures are large and far enough from each other that you feel like you are all alone. However, the rooms are not all - the food at Likuliku is truly outstanding - each meal is better than the next! Also, make sure to try the Lychee Paradise cocktail (I think that is what it is called - it is the last one on the cocktail list) - well worth it!. Finally, if you want to treat yourself at the spa, Olive and Vera were both great for massages. The only downside in my book was that the dive sites nearby are not as vibrant as one would expect - so if you are coming to dive - maybe take a day or two off and simply enjoy the resort! After 5 days, I was not ready to leave. Thanks to the staff at Likuliku for such an enjoyable time!

Paradise at the highest level, what a beautiful place to spend a week and just relax, the food is of the highest standard and it's hard not to try everything they offer, great if your not watching your weight. Our Bure was spotlessly clean and every time we left the room and came back it was all tidy again, love it. In Fiji if the staff are happy you know the resort is running smooth and the staff here are very happy. Plenty of things to do if your up to it or you can relax in the plunge pool outside your Bure, you will enjoy the massage and this is my 4th time here in the last 5 years and it just gets better. It's not the cheapest resort in Fiji but if you want value for money look no further
